Natalie Lockhart grew up in Burning Lake, New York, a town associated with the Salem witch trials. She is now a rookie police officer. On her desk is a list of nine women who disappeared over time, a list that has been passed from officer to officer with little progress. Now it has been passed to her.
When the wife of Daisy Buckner, a local teacher and the wife of a fellow officer, is discovered, suspicion falls on one of her students that she had been helping. He had made threats against her in the past, but when her husband chases him down he suffers a seizure and falls into a coma. Daisy had been a friend of Natalie and her sister Grace and as she becomes involved in the investigation she suspects that her marriage was in trouble.
Alice Blanchard has constructed a complex story of murder and witchcraft. The murder of Natalie’s sister Willow twenty years earlier, the disappearance of the nine and the death of Daisy Come together in a finale that will leave you stunned. This book is listed as the first in the Natalie Lockhart series and I am looking forward to more in this series.
